Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

To keep things fair for everyone, the **free tier** usually includes these trial limits: - **Sample data:** up to **5 listings** per run—enough to check data quality. - **Daily cap:** **5 runs** per calendar day (UTC). - **Between runs:** at least **1 minute** before you can start another run. > Limits can change with platform load depending on system load and your intended scraping to prevent what we might interpret as free users abuse. #### Upgrade when you're ready! Use the free tier to decide if this actor fits your project. Paid Apify plans remove these wait times and caps so you can run at full volume—[**upgrade to a paid plan**](https://apify.com/pricing?fpr=cbgdsf). ### ⚠️ Disclaimer This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Flatfox AG or any of its subsidiaries.
